Nvidia, Microsoft settle Xbox spat

[COLOR=royalblue]"Graphics chipmaker Nvidia said Thursday that it has settled "all issues" with Microsoft over the pricing of chips used in the Xbox game console.

Ahead of its earnings results next week, Nvidia said that months of arbitration related to its graphics chipset had ended with an agreement that's "a win for both companies." In May, Nvidia disclosed that it was quarreling with Microsoft over chip prices.

Nvidia now can take its partnership "to the next level," CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said in a statement. Robbie Bach, a senior vice president at Microsoft, delivered a similar message."[/color]
